Answer : The molar concentration is, 6.35\times 10^{-18}mol/L

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of protein.

\text{Moles of protein}=\frac{\text{Number of molecules of protein}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}

Number of molecules of protein = 2 molecules

Avogadro's number =  6.022\times 10^{23}molecules/mol

\text{Moles of protein}=\frac{2\text{ molecules}}{6.022\times 10^{23}molecules/mol}=3.32\times 10^{-24}mol

Now we have to calculate the radius.

Radius = \frac{Diameter}{2}=\frac{1mm}{2}=0.5mm=5.0\times 10^{-4}m

Conversion used : (1 mm = 0.001 m)

Now we have to calculate the volume.

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (5.0\times 10^{-4}m)^3

V=5.23\times 10^{-10}m^3=5.23\times 10^{-7}L

Conversion used : (1 m³ = 1000 L)

Now we have to calculate the molar concentration.

Concentration=\frac{\text{Moles of protein}}{\text{Volume}}

Concentration=\frac{3.32\times 10^{-24}mol}{5.23\times 10^{-7}L}

Concentration=6.35\times 10^{-18}mol/L

Thus, the molar concentration is, 6.35\times 10^{-18}mol/L

ludmilkaskok [199]
The term used to describe a harmless organism resembling a harmful one is batesian mimicry. Cryptic coloration or camouflage makes prey difficult to spot, while aposematic coloration is a type of coloration exhibited by animals with effective chemical defenses. Mullerian mimicry is a type of mimicry in which two or more unedible species resemble each other.

Rank from the first to the last steps to describe the correct order of events of erythrocyte death.
timama [110]

Answer:

1. erythrocyte becomes trapped in the sinusoids of spleen.

2. Spleen macrophages digest the erythrocytes.

3. Hemoglobin is broken down into amino acids, iron and bilirubin.

4. Iron ions and amino acids are recycled to make new hemoglobin in red bone marrow. Bilirubin is sent to liver for excretion.

Explanation

Aging erythrocytes are trapped in the sinusoids of the spleen, where they are digested by macrophages. Within the macrophage, hemoglobin is broken down into amino acids, iron ions, and bilirubin.

Iron ions or heme ion and amino acids then move through the blood to the bone marrow, where they are recycled and used to create new hemoglobin. Bilirubin travels with the help of the blood to the liver, where it is modified and then excreted.

thus, the correct order is :

1. erythrocyte becomesrapped in the sinusoids of spleen.

2. Spleen macrophages digest the erythrocytes.

3. Hemoglobin is broken down into amino acids, iron and bilirubin.

4. Iron ions and amino acids are recycled to make new hemoglobin in red bone marrow. Bilirubin is sent to liver for excretion.
